The CHANCELLOR 61 the EACHEQUER brought down - the following Message &Qin his Majesty G. R. His Majesty, relying on the experienced zeal and alli:dion 'of his faithful Commons, and considering the great import. ance of providing for any emergency, recommends to them to take such measures as may enable him to disappoint and de. teat the designs of the enemy, and to adopt such'proceedings as the exigence of afEiirs may require. . - The Message was ordered to be referred to the Committee of Supply to morrow. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice, that he should to r morrow, in the Committee of Supply, submit a proposition for the Relief of the Poor Clergy of Scotland. The Report of the Committee to consider of the necessity of imposing a Duty of ten shillings on every ton of Coals brought nearer to London than the stone at' Staines,bridge, was brought up and agreed to ; and, after some observations from Sir M.

Mr. FOSTER declined to give notice for another day. • _ _ The House then resolved itself into a Committee on the Howth Harb6ur Sir J. NEWPORT urged the necessity of granting compensalion to the individuals who would be in jured by_the measure. Mr.. CROKEE was very desirous that the fullest compensation shonldbe made; but contended, that that compensation ought to be calculated oh the present value of the land, and not on the value to which it might be• raised by the 'proposed improve ments. He wished however, again to state, that he thought that in this case as in all otliers'of a similar nature, the owner of theland ought to have a fair; libetal-,and even ample' considerwion for his , property. • • After a few words from Mr. FOSTER, the House resumed, ;middle report was ordeled to be_n - xciled to-morrow.

Lord PORCHESTER obtained leave to bring in a Bill for the better preservation - of Black game in England. the Bill for regulating the Office of Registrar of 'the-Admiralty and Prize CoUrts was read a first time; to be read a second time to-morrow. • - •- SIR GEORGE SH,ET. - Sir JOHN NEWPORT rose to call the attention of • the House to the case of 'Sir George. Shee. The Right Hon. Baroiiet stated, that in the 35th year.of the:King it was thought expedient to new model. the Treasury of Ireland, arid' to .putit on a footing with that, of England. Several offices were extin, guished, and regulations were adopted to provide that the A& should be carried into eflec.:l; Arnotig the offices abolished, it was dire&ed that the office of Receiver-General should .ce r ise to exist, and the duties were vested in the Recelver-General of the Customs, and it was provided that a comeensation 30001. per annum, for life, should be given to the Right Hon. Theophilus Clement, the then Receiver General: The. Right Hon. Baronet.then referred to the various clauses of the Ael, to shew that in no part of the at there was recognition of fees to be taken by the officer alluded to. In I 802, b.y letters patent; Sir George Shee was appointed to hold the Office of Receiver-General of the Customs, on the demise of, Sir Henry Cavendish, .with a salary of. 10091. per annum. Now the act expressly meant in' spirit, the 'office should rot be given in reVersion, but mercy held during pleasure. In 1804, Sir Henry Cavendish, Alen Receiver-General, died k and Sir G. Shee succeeded him. In 1808, his Majesty's Government granted to thiis Officer the sum of 3,7651-in lieu of the fees of office. He contended that this' was a dire& violation of the ACt. And he then tutther noted that a sum of 1,9001, was paid to Sir George Shee, of which sum 6001. was divided among his Clerks. For tilde reasons he should submit three Resolutions, censuring the conduct of -Govern ment, and concluded w ith moving one of the Reso lutions to the following effect • - " 't'lot the conduct of the Irish Government was highly re rirehetisible in respect to the allowances to Sir Get:age Slice; th.it if compensation. was due to him, they ought to'have app 1 plied to Parliament for power to grant these sums." Mr. WELI.RiLEY 'POLE said, that he felt some difficulty as to the made in which he should address the House upon this occasion, because i.t 'appeared to, him.that this accusation was not more against the present Government than against the one which granted the 'reversion to Sit Georcre Shee. He. should .however content himself with giving the best infor mation he could 'to the House upon this subje&, which the Right Hon, .Baronet . appeared to him to 'have very considerably misrepresented. 'From the manner in which the Right Hon. Baronet !fad stated the case, the HOuse 'must have supposed that - Sir George Shee had only 10001. a year for this office, and that he was entitled to. no' other profit o emo 'lament whatever. The House, therefore, would be surprised when he stated, that.there were erne . - lunnents which attached to that office from The very moment that. the ,A 6.1 passed , to regulate it, which amounted to above 50001. a year, and that' tlfate emoluments must haie been in the contemplation of Parlianient when they passed the, Act.' That the nature and extent 'of these emoluments must have been known to GoVernthent, and to Sir H. Caven dish; who -held the office before Sir G. Sher, :is obvious, from the circumstance of Sir Henry having given up a place of ho responsibility, - with a salary of 1,2001. a year, to accept this office, which was One of great responsibility, with a:salary -of 10001. a year. This was a strong proet that it was,under-, stood both by Government and by him, that there must have been just and fair emoluments attached' to the office 'besides the salary.. The. Act of Parlia•- inetit which regulated this office, enatted, that the Receiver-General should Pay-weekly, on every_ Fri day, all the monies' weich came into his hinds, to - the, Teller of the Exchequer. Sir H. Cavendish a6ted in stri& confor . mity to this ACS of Pa. ti anent; but heeertainly did derive considerable emolument' from the money remaining in his han.'s for fire days I each week ; he derived not less Clan 2,260.1. a year from this source. The. °the? source ffem which _the emoluments of this office were derived was a percentage upon all Bills which were transmitted to him by the Colleaors of the Revenue; The Col . lettors were allowed to transmit Bills at thirty days date, and the Receiver-General had a per ce:tage ,of one-fourth per cent. for his trouble respeaing those b:lis : from this source the Receiver-General's emolument amounted to 2,7401. a year._ This was the -state of the , office when Sir H. Cavendish held it. He now came to the ease of Sir George Shee, to whom the reversion of the office wa, granted in 1801. The paterit by which the reversion was granted to him stated, that he should enjoy all the privileges_and einoluments of the office in as full a Manner as Sir H. Cavendish, and, as he had already Stated, it was known at that time to the Irish a'ncl English Government 9", and indeed to every body; that the emoluments which he had mentioned were attached to that office.: If it had happened that the regulation of his Right Hon. Friend (Mr. Foster). had not taken away these' sources of emolument from this office, Sir 'George Shee would have been as Clearly entitled to compensation as any one officer of the Customs who had received compensation. By this regulation. his Right Honourable Friend (Mr. -Foster), at one stroke of his , pen, deprived Sir G. iree of both these sources of emolument, and re duced his office from Otto!. to Wool. a year. Now be begged leave to contend that it was an established, case, that when by any regulation the emoluments of a patent place were taken away, the person holding .tlie office had always .been considered as entitled to comperisation . .. There were innumerable cases, which he • might quote upon this subjea, but there was one. which particularly occurred to.him, and 'that was the case of the aemembrancer ,of the Court of Exchequer in Ireland, a part of whose emolument was derived from the . advantage he made by the use of the Suitors money.: It was thought proper to deprive him of this source of emo lument, but he received a compensation for it. The Yoble Lord, hiS relation, who now held the office of Remembrancer, .did not receWe the covnpensa- Lion, beause t the regulation by which the emo lutnents had been diminished, was made before he teeeiked lee reversion of the 6th6e; t hen §IF H. Cavendish diedihis Right Hdrinit'iable Fris3nd (Mr. Foster), then Chancellor. of the ticireeneti found that there was a birlance Of hetWeeh two and three hundred thousand pounds iii the hands Of Sit Henry's , executors; and he 'determined to pi - nisei - it such a circumstance from occurring again; and lid made the regulation, by which; as he said before; he at once took away all the etnolunients - of thid office. In. doing this, 'be confessed it appeared td him that his .Right Hon. Friend had a little strait-6d the law for thepublic service. He depriVed the Re; ceiver-General of the profit which he used to make of_ the public money remaining in his hands for five days in the week, and at the same time he took away from him the 4 per cent. upoh all billspssing through his' hand ; so that 50001. a year was at once taken from Sir George Shee, r anal his office re;• duce& to 10001. a year. Now whether the Irish , Government did right by granting'sonle Compenaa•:' lion to Sir George Shee fig this loss, it was - for the.' House to dete r mi ne; b ut certa i n l y this was a very different case from that which the Right Hon. Ba ronet had stated to the House.' He hoped he hail-stud enough to convince the House - that the ease of Sir George Shee was one that fairly called for the con sideratien of Government. The Right Hon:Baronet had ssid, that: he would not enter into the consider ation-of the:question, whether :the salary of 10001. a year was enough for an office of such twat and responsibili'Y as that of Receiver-General ;.- but he begged to quote tothe Right Hon. Baru:Jet an-au= thorny - which he was sure he would tespett, viz. that of the - Commissioners of Inquiry, who- had de• elated their opi o i on t h a t t h e ' sa l ary of 10601. a year was not endugh for such an office.- Sir George Shee had presented a memorial to the Commissionersi setting forth the particArres of his case, and if his claini fOr remuneration had been so turfonadel . the' Right Hoti. Baronet-had contended, the Com missioners would have said so in their Repori they merely stated, that they did - not feel thein3 selves at liberty to enter into the consideration of his claim to remuneratiot,, because the transaction took place before they commented their (Ake, but they expressed an opinion that the salary was not adequate to the office. Sir George Shee, under the circumstances which he had already stated, applied to the Irish Government for some remuneration, and upon a_ full consideratien of his case, it was thought right to grata him an addition of 12001. a -year, and MI. for his Clerks, making altogether 13001. a year. The Right Hon. Baronet had repre sented the sum which had been granted to 'Sit George Shee as having been granted contrary to all law and justice; but the ikuse, must see, that if Sir George -was entitled to any compensation at all, he was entitled to it from the very hoar that the emoluments were taken from birri.s. The Right Hon. Baronet, in bringing forward this charge, had not ;accused 'the Irish Government of aniu ated by any, corrupt moti ve ; b u t w h en suc h accua satioes as the present' were brought forWarel,,the 'public would be apt to susped improper notiveS, unless such imputations were distinctly rebutted. t Fie therelore thought it right to state most distinetly • that there was.no connection whatever,' _political. or otherwise, between Si'r George Shee and thelrish Government; on the contrary, he was one of that bright constellation knoWn by the narue of the Talents, , and 'held an office in their adMiaistration. But he came to the present Irish Governmerit with a plain open ,staternen4 they took hit s case into . their consideration, without affedion car without prej 'dice, and upon an impartial view of the subject, granted him the' remuneration which had been ,stated. The Right Hon. Baronet hod insinuated that this transaction had been found out by acci-' dent, and that there had -been a wish to keep it font the public view. But did the Right Hon. Baronet really Suppose .that they were so young as to um. gine that these incidents would not cOme.before Parliament ? Did' the 'Right Hon. Barnet suppose that his feireting disposition was so little known ; that the Irish Government could have believed that this transaction 'would have escaped his notice ? Why the Right Hon. Baronet was never so happy as when he could start ary garde of this kind ; he was qui,e delighted - when ii. -could bolt such a case as this. It was absurd, therefore, to suppose t' at the Irish GOvernment wished casiexpected .tO keep it a secret. It had been said that the Irish Government ought to haVe come to. Parliament to have this re muneration granted. What was the reason why his brother (Lord Welli e gto n ), wh o was - in office when this traiisadion took place, did- not ' come to Parliament,,he did not know; but the reason why he (Mr. W. Pole) would not have applied to Par : liatneot was thi-, that 1)37 obtaining art of Par liament for this remuneration, 'a perpetual expence would .have been entailed-upon the con ary, whereas by the,mode adopted, the expencit would only last during the 'life of Str George Sa.ee, who was the ;suffering person. If the office of Receiver-General_ - fell vacant while he had the honour of . advising the Lotd Lieutenant, he should not recommend any in -crease of the salary, for he was quite sure he could "find persons in every respell qualified to till that • office for the salary of 10001. a year. He was so sanguine as to hope that he bad now - stated enough to satisfy the House &hot it ought not to agree with 'the Right Hon. Baronet's inotien, and lie should not trespass any longer 'upon the Hjuse, if the Right . Honourable Baronet had not, 'when he brought this subject forward upon - ; former night, made an attack upon his brother, (Lord ton) as unjust as illiberal, and as uniair an -attack as ever was made in that House. The 'Right Hari. Baronet had indeed admitted that, Lord._ Wellington_ - "was a-gallant soldier, but he had represented him as a-person who had no ideadf the value of mo ne y ; in short, be had represented.'birn as one of the most profuse and extravagant dogs that ever existed, and the Right_ Hon. Baronet had declared that he Would bring-forward a great number of cases to support his charges, which would call - for the ani madversion- of Parliament. '-One of the cases which the Right Hon. Baronet had mentioned was, - that ! the Irish Government had expended 120,0001: for making docks, anti building stores in Dublin.— , Now r. 'would - state the plain fad. These works had been undertaken in conhequence of a letter, in the. year 1806, from the Comrnis4ioners'of Excise \ _to Mr. Secretary Elliot, representing, the necessity of an additional dock, btcause thi dock the.. ex- • isting only held 26 ships, and the at erage nurnb:lr of .vessels in the river was bet u een 4 and 500 ; and also additional storehouses, becauie the Custom-
